The Solution
The district chose Real Time Networks' KeyTracer key cabinets. These cabinets offered the necessary automation, email notifications, and data points to monitor key usage effectively. The rollout involved installing 40 KeyTracer units across all schools, with a phased approach aligned with the district's rekeying project.
The Results
The implementation of KeyTracer key cabinets significantly reduced incidents of lost or missing keys. The system provided real-time tracking and alerts, improving overall security and accountability. The success of the initial rollout led to plans for expanding the system to new schools and critical hurricane response facilities.
“In our new systems, every key is inventoried, but the main benefit of the [KeyTracer] key boxes was understanding when a master key to a school was lost. [The KeyTracer cabinets] gave us better information on what people were doing with keys, and the key boxes have been a godsend.”
